Whether you’re sick of reading about Star Wars merchandise or not, you can’t look at the BB-8 Tea Set and not find it outrageously cute. At least that’s how we roll on this Monday morning. It’s made of high quality ceramic and features a nestled teapot and cup design that will have you sipping flavourful botanicals in no time. The pot holds 12 ounces, and the cup 6, so you can fill it twice per brew. At $25, it’s an inexpensive gift for the Star Wars and Tea lover in your life.

We wrote about the Nessie Ladle and the Nessie Colander before, and these items were pretty popular with you guys. OTOTO, who makes these, took notice and now they’ve released the Nessie Tea Infuser. It makes it look like the famous and totally real Lock Ness Monster is sticking out of your cup of tea, nut in reality it’s not a tiny tea-dwelling sea monster at all but a cleverly designed household product. You guys are so easily fooled, lolz. It’s $14, cute af, and totally worth the purchase.

Gold fish swimming in the tea that you’re about to drink? Sounds pretty nasty, but these fishy tea bags will make most people wonder why you’re sipping that tea so calmly while a goldfish swims leisurely in your cup…

The company behind these creative tea bags is Taiwan-based Charm Villa. The tea bags look like typical tea bags when they’re out of the water, but submerge it in hot water and watch it transform into the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen in a cup. Beauty in tea bags? Now that’s not something you see or hear about everyday.

You guys seem to be into tea, and tea infusers. Good for you, really. Good for you. We like them too! So how about this cute Brew Whale Tea Infuser? It’s made from silicone, will plunge to the depths of your tea cup and stay submerged for as long as you want. When your tea is steeped enough, pull on the handle and help the little whale breach the surface. It’s $14.

Run here, don’t be late for that appointment, meet that deadline you idiot, crap how did you manage to miss your train, oh god is it really time to wake up already?! That’s life for a lot of us. But if your self-preservation instinct kicks in once in a while, you may want to consider taking a tiny breather now and then. What better way to do so than with a hot cup of tea? And what better way to have that if not with this Sloth Tea Infuser? It’s just a cute reminder that this 15 minutes you’re going to take for yourself, you’re going to take with slow deliberate pleasure. And you won’t even stress out about the fact you spent money on something technically unnecessary, since the darn thing is just $10.

Stale bread. Cold tea. You can still eat ’em and drink ’em, but you’ll do so minus the pleasure you’d normally have if the bread was warm and the tea was hot. There’s not much you can do about the bread, but there is something you can do about the tea: brew a batch that’s meant for one. And the teapot that was made just for this purpose is this Tea for One ceramic teapot by Droog.

Part of a collection, the Dutch teapot echoes classic Chinese design and was made in Shenzhen, China, where many items are copied for the mass market. Highlighting what gets changed in a “copy,” the collection strives to bring attention to the creative decisions that go into making all copycats and to show that unoriginality can be inspiring, too.

It basically looks like a teapot that was cut in half, which is probably something you wanted to do with your regular pot when you wanted to make some tea for your lonesome. The Tea for One teapot retails for $75.

You wouldn’t put your tongue in someone else’s cup of tea now, would you? I would. Not my actual tongue (because that would just be gross!) but this tongue-shaped tea infused that helps you prepare a soothing cup of tea.

Looking for a unique way to set your tea party apart? Then you need to look no further. The new Tongue shaped tea infuser gives a fresh new way to envy your friends with a unique design. The tea gently gets infused with warm water through the holes in the shape of the accessory so that you enjoy the fresh taste every time.

Now isn’t that swell? (Not to mention, slightly swollen too…) The infuser is made from food-grade silicone so you don’t have to worry about having it fall apart after several uses. The Tongue tea infuser retails for $9.

Different strokes for different folks. That’s true in so many ways, and especially true in how people deal with stress and cope with stressful life events. Some people go out for a run, others shop, some sleep, while others fix a cup of tea and find themselves relaxing more and more with every sip.

For the latter group, ad agency M&C Saatchi’s campaign for tea maker BOH makes complete sense. They rolled out an array of tea bags in unusual shapes and designs. The coolest part is when the bags are submerged in hot water, as they transform from a symbol that depicts stress to one that exudes calmness and nothing but good vibes.

The thought of someone tea-bagging the cup of tea you’re about to drink is just plain gross. In fact, it’s downright disgusting. That said, I wouldn’t mind it though if it were Mr. T who did the teabagging. Not because he’s a celebrity of sorts, but because of the fact that he is the actual tea bag itself.

These hilarious Mr. Tea tea bags let you unwind with Mr. T sprawled gregariously in your tea cup. Each set comes with two tea bags and a matching greeting card so you can give the gift of T-bagging to someone who truly deserves it.

It should come as no surprise that Mr. T is extremely popular with the tea-drinking crowd, so it’s currently out of stock, but you can sign up to get notified when it becomes available again.
